I hear honking outside. I look to the door and the UPS man is standing at it (do you love it as much as I do when the UPS man shows up?). The schoolbus driver pulled up behind him is honking, apparently perturbed that the UPS man is parked in the street. I don’t feel [...]

Where is your mother?!

I’m ranting. There’s your warning. We’re at playgroup today, meeting at local church that has a McDonald’s-type playland. It’s pretty cool because they open it daily to the public. Anyone can come and play, it’s cleaner than any fast food playland, and there’s a dining area right outside the play area to eat lunch. Great [...]
What to bring on a roadtrip with kids…
Posted in Group Writing Project, Life on August 14, 2006 | 17 Comments »
We’re going to be traveling soon, and I’m at the point where I start making a list for every member of the family so that I don’t forget anything when we’re packing. This happens to coincide with Darren Rowse‘s current Group Writing Project. Here’s my list: 1-Sanity. Definitely going to need this while traveling with [...]
You say it’s my birthday…

..brn, nr, nr, nr, nr, nr…. It’s my birthday, too—yeah. Bald Man plays this classic by the Beatles when I go upstairs to take my shower before we’re off to church this morning. He plays it because it is, in fact, my birthday today. He has it playing on the speakers in our bedroom. So, [...]

From one mom to another…

I never met you, though I heard your tragic story as it was happening. A stroke, a coma, a death. Seemingly that quickly. A husband without a wife. Three children without their mom, one only about a month old. I prayed for you, for your family. I never met you. But I’ve seen you. Once [...]
Wook Sneaked the Dog

I’m going crazy here, friends. Seriously losing my mind. Have I mentioned that we’re dog sitting for my mom/sister? (No, my mom and sister are not the same person. The dog resides with my mother, though I think she (the dog) would have been “let go” years ago if it hadn’t been for my sister [...]
What do YOU know about biting?
Posted in Help! on August 10, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Bald Man writing over at Supernanny Rules has a reader asking for advice on a kid who is biting. Amazingly, among all of the other discipline issues we have faced, biting is not one of them (yet). So, I’m asking all of you out there to help this parent out, because we all need all [...]
I do actually read…
Posted in What Challenges Me, What I'm Reading on August 9, 2006 | 8 Comments »
I realized that I have a category entitled, “What I’m Reading,” but I think I’ve only posted under that category once. I’ve read since then, but apparently nothing worth writing about. I don’t know. Here’s what I’ve read recently (or am in the middle of reading, I usually am consecutively reading about 4 books): Toss [...]
